On the premises where former aircraft manufacturer Dornier built their small and medium range 328 prop and jet aircraft, the Bell UH-1D helicopter of the German Forces are maintained by service provider RUAG. Helitune equipment is used for track & balancing on the Bell UH-1D and all the other 6 helicopter models currently operated by the German Air Force, Army and Navy.

Together with the ground station RT-Vision, the German Forces possess a powerful and reliable diagnostics tool for optimized maintenance planning.
